TENDA TFC300B Gigabit Single-Mode Media Converter

The Tenda TFC300B is a Gigabit single-mode, single-fiber media converter built to extend Ethernet networks over fiber runs of up to 3km. It pairs with a TFC300A unit at the opposite end of the link to form a complete bidirectional connection over just one strand of fiber, using wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM), the B unit transmits at 1310nm and receives at 1550nm, the exact inverse of its TFC300A partner, so the two units talk to each other over a single fiber instead of the usual two.

• 1x Gigabit RJ45 port + 1x Gigabit SC fiber port
• Single-mode, single-fiber operation (WDM), pairs with TFC300A
• Transmission distance up to 3km
• TX 1310nm / RX 1550nm
• Compact desktop design with Power and Link/Act LED indicators

Because it only needs one fiber core rather than a pair, the TFC300B/TFC300A combination is a cost-effective way to cut fiber cabling requirements in half on point-to-point links. Note: this unit must be matched with a TFC300A at the far end, two units of the same type will not link up.
